I recently had surgery and I asked the family what the last meal they wanted me to cook for a bit. They asked for a big breakfast. Oh ok, then. Easy Peasie, done. We could of had the gas stove going, multiple pans be used and a larger mess to be had. Decided to do everything one at a time and foil things. We always start with our bacon first so we can use the bacon grease to cook the rest of the breakfast. Once bacon is done, we lay out on a papertowel on a plate, foil it and set aside. Leave bacon grease in pan.
We like breakfast sausages also if your cooking more meat, do it now. Cooked til browned and cooked throughout. We put these on the same plate as the bacon.
Now onto fried potatoes and these are some good cooked in the bacon grease. Potatoes of your choice cut into bite size pieces, onions diced, garlic diced, put in your hot pan with bacon grease. Add salt and pepper. Cover and let is do it’s thing for a few minutes stirring every so often. Covering them will allow them to cook up faster. Once cooked put on a plate, foil and set aside.
I don’t really like scrambled eggs but when doing a big breakfast like this, saving time, is always key. So we do a pan of scrambled eggs. Beat eggs very well, add salt pepper. Should still be some bacon grease in your pan, add in your eggs. We like to cover this too, also makes they cook up faster, after every minute give all the eggs a flip. Once cooked, remove from pan. Put on a plate, foil, set aside.
We don’t buy pancake mix but a friend gave us a few camper goodies which one thing was a box of mix. I’m not a huge pancake maker so when we make them we always go big. Pancakes freeze well, the kids and hubby love to be able to pull them out of the freezer. We also had a half bag of frozen blueberries we threw into the whole box. We were able to freeze 3 breakfast meals of pancakes. We love our nordicware flat grill. Cooks these up very nicely. Little bit of heat, non stick spray, spatula, some time. And you have yourself a ton of pancakesCut some watermelon up & plated some cherries. We sure do love homemade baked beans, but since space is a little issue living in the motorhome. Canned beans will have to do for now. The family loves buffet style.Bianca, Nate, and Lucky approved. What’s yours favorite thing to eat at breakfast?
1 can coconut milk 1/2CUP small pearl tapioca (not instant) 2 1/2CUPS milk 1/4TSP salt 1/2CUP granulated sugar 1/2CUP freshly grated coconut 2 large eggs 1TSP coconut extract Our family loves tapioca Pudding. This is a pretty simple recipe and tastes great.
Bring the first 6 ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Boil for about 15-20 minutes.
It will gradually thicken up as the tapioca cooks and the liquids cooks down. Once tapioca is cooked and pudding is thick. Remove from heat. Beat eggs, add in about 1/2CUP pudding to eggs pouring slowly, to get it used to the heat and to prevent the whole thing from turning into a custard. Then mix in your egg mixture with the rest of the tapioca Pudding. Stirring well til nicely combined. Then stir in your coconut extract.
We poured pudding into one cup glasses, makes it pretty to look at, especially if your getting the colored tapioca pearls. Top with some fresh mint and coconut, optional.
We love pizza!! We can’t wait to have a pizza oven. Til then BBQ or oven will have to do. Had some tomatoes and jalapenos that needed used. Since the fridge needed cleaned out this week, thought it would be great to make veggie pizzas. One thing we love about pizza is you literally can put anything on them!
2 flatbreads 1/3CUP pizza sauce Sliced tomatoes Sliced jalapenos Sliced onions Diced garlic Fresh basil & parsley Grated mozzarella or cheese of your choice Top with some parmesan Preheat oven 425FLay your flatbread out on a cookie sheet and spread some pizza sauce on-top,
We put some shredded cheese next add your toppings of choice. Then top with some more grated mozzerolla and parmesan
Bake 12-14minutes. Depending on your oven. Til crisp and cheese has browned. We cut into inch wide fingers. How do you make your flatbread pizzas?
It was clear out the pantry and fridge week. As we prefer for the move of our life. Now all settled into our hotel for the next little while, til we decide what plans are next. We wanted something different to have to snack on in the hotel room. I think this was a great option.
1 large jar of artichokes, drained, roughly chopped 2 bags spinach 1 whole head of garlic 8-10 cloves Half large red onion diced & shallots diced 1CUP cream cheese 1CUP shredded mozza 1/2CUP sour cream Olive oil Salt pepper to tasteSaute your onions and garlic in some olive oil for a couple of minutes, I use a large cast iron pan with high sides. Add in your artichokes, salt and pepper. Stir well, cook for a few more minutes.
Pour in your 2 bags of spinach and cover to let spinach sweat down. Takes just a minute or so. I like to take a food processor and blend half the dip. You can blend it all of you like but we like some chunks in it.
Add in your cream cheese & sour cream mix til all combined. Then stir in your mozza, stir well til all melted in.Add more salt pepper to taste. We like to dip french baguettes in here and pretzels is our favorite. But it tastes grest with an assortment of crackers or veggies. You can definitely cut this recipe in half also. Hope your family enjoys it as much as we do.
Well we don’t normally buy stuff like this but hubby really wanted to try this KD Shaker from Costco. We don’t buy KD as we always make homemade but thought why not give it a try. Bag of pasta of your choice Veggies are endless you can put in. We used broccoli, carrots, asparagus, corn, red & green onions, & jalapenos 1/4CUP KD Shaker mix 1CUP shredded cheese of your choice 1/2CUP each butter or margarine and milk 2 heaping TBSP of ricotta Parmesan to top We cut up broccoli, a carrot, some asparagus and added corn all to big pot of water. Bring to a boil. Then we add pasta to same pot. Throw some salt in and boil til done.
Drain and pour into a big bowl, I reserve and add about 1/2CUP noodle water to noodles. Then we add everything else in and mix well. We love the crunch of the onions and jalapenos it also adds great flavour.
We reserve some jalapenos, red & green onions for the top. Then sprinkle some Parm on. The kids devoured their plates!!
